Bring out the Sherman.....TANK.
I couldn't give a stuff if we don't win another game for the rest of the year so let's start the Sherman up and tank.
It's the only way we will ever move forward, Melbourne have just demonstrated that over the past two weeks.
-
Yeah and if we got caught, I'm sure we'd cop the same feather duster flogging that ended up a reward from the AFL that Melbourne received.
-
Won't happen
-
Our bigger need is to get rid of the awful dead wood we have picked up. Pick 1 or Pick 10 we need to get rid of this stupid theory of 'depth' before developing quality players .
-
After next weeks loss to GWS we will still be sitting second bottom, I cant see us finishing last as the Lions have that spot sewn up.
We must ensure that from this point on we maintain our current ladder position, it's really the only way forward. Unfortunately I don't think we have a choice with our ladder position anyway, we are not good enough to beat anyone above us so it will work out perfectly, well done to the RFC.
If however we get close to beating someone above us in any game I think we should move S.Edwards into the center, Rance to FF, Jack into the ruck, Cotchin to FB and we should have Chaplin or Hampson as taggers...
This should guarantee our current spot on the ladder. ;D

Agree in principle. Play the kids

Put it anyway you like, its the end result we need!!!

Before you embrace tanking..look at the Dees .In the space of 8 games they have gone from being the worst team in 20 years to being more than competitive.So its not all about draft picks ,attitude is as important if not more

Or just keep playing Grigg and Hammer and the rest will take care of itself. :whistle :whistle

Um... :huh..its all about tanking for them...oh and a decent coach!!!
-
They also topped up for some immediate results.
Cross, Vince etc
And a fit Dawes has actually been enormous, and credit to him.
-
C'mon Tiges, lets get the tank in gear. Then we can work on a new coach.
But we need the picks next year, get it out and start it!!!!
-
Perfect opportunity to tank without arousing any suspicion.....just need to keep playing the same players in the same positions....
-
We currently sit 13th out of 18 on the live ladder, this is not good enough, we simply cant afford to finish this high up the ladder, we must aim to finish lower than this. All the teams below us are better than us, they have better coaches and they have better youth. We will lose the next 3 without a drama so that will help us out, I just hope the clubs below us start wining more, they only have to win one or two and we will hit the bottom, just where we need and deserve to be!!

Yeah and if we got caught, I'm sure we'd cop the same feather duster flogging that ended up a reward from the AFL that Melbourne received.
So lets keep playing the best 22
Grigg. Chaplin. Hampson. :huh

pedersons been good as well.
its about balance and getting the balance right.
there is a place for mature recruits but not at the expense of kids in the nd.
-
Hardwick will keep playing this game style and players.
St Kilda, twice, Brisbane and GWS will be our only wins remaining.
So 7 wins in 2014, hopefully that doesn't get us too high up on the ladder!
Pick 5 will be very good for us!
Need a quick, classy, skillful midfielder!

You really need to work on your comprehension skills.
-
GWS and Brisbane have the bottom 2 spots. I'd be suprised if Saints weren't 16th.
15th is up for grabs if Dogs pinch some pointless wins. You'd back Carlton under Mick to win some pointless games because Mick won't tank, he wants wins, he wants short term success as he isn't coaching for much longer.
If we can strategically work it to get 15th and get pick 4 thatd be a great result for us.
-
I would be happy with pick 1, but I will settle for pick 3-5, we need that, anything higher and we have players like Ellis, Conca, Valstuin to look forward to, they are good but nothing special lets be honest!!!
-
Vlastuin will be a gun.
-
Vlastuin will be a gun.
Agree him and Martin are good when the blow torch is applied. Everyone else on the list including the captain seems to disappear when the heats on.
-
That gaggle of administrative buffoons won't implement the tank yet by continuing to gift games to players like Grigg, Conca, houli, Foley, Hampson, Morris etc, they inadvertently are, simply by closing the door to development within its own ranks.
How is it possible that the club are back to the Possum Poo era?
-
Vlastuin will be a gun.
In this team?? With the lack of support???? Look at Cotch, he is copping it from everywhere (media and fans) each week, its not because he is crap (he's brilliant) but he will never win a Brownlow surrounded by incompetent players that cant and wont support him...Until we get a few more number 1-5 picks in the team or a decent team Vlas unfortunately will be another casualty!!
-
agree re Martin and Vlaus.
Its because theyre their own men and probably hate the guys they have to play with.
-
Vlastuin will be a gun.
Hasn't been Richmondised yet. 18 months and it will set in. Will be a dud.
